I don't understand why they gave me a summary for two forms but gave me a link for only one. In both cases, it's only for a few hundred dollars, but I don't want to miss anything.
You are going to file the 1099-K, and keep the 1099-MISC for your records.
You will need to fill out Schedule C to report your 1099-K as business income. If you made under $400, you don't have to pay self-employment tax, but you still have to report it on Schedule C as that is where the IRS will be looking for the income. If you choose to file it as miscellaneous income you may receive a letter from the IRS.
If you are an Uber driver and
received a 1099-K, then you would enter your pay as freelance business income.
You will need TurboTax Home & Business to enter Schedule C(IRS form
for freelance business) to complete your return.

Example 2: Richard is an Uber driver and gets a 1099-K that shows $15,000 in total fares. After Uber's commissions and fees, the amount he actually received was $10,000. He enters $15,000 as income and $5,000 as commissions under the Business Income and Expenses topic. If he also gets a 1099-MISC, he would enter it as additional income.

Just need a little more clarification. So, If I have $300 on uber summary but did not recieve a 1099 misc, do i just fill out the $300 under the general business income and as well as the 1099k amount that i did receive from uber? Also, since i will not be entering the 1099 misc under 1099 misc section, will turbo tax still automatically fill out a schedule c for me? do i still need a schedule c?
Do you use gross amount of payment on 1099K or the amount Uber give you after they took their percentage

For an Uber driver with under $500 in earnings, it's pretty unfair for TurboTax to charge $79.99 for the only version of the tax prep software that will handle a 1099-K
Just need a little more clarification. So, If I have $300 on uber summary but did not recieve a 1099 misc, do i just fill out the $300 under the general business income and as well as the 1099k amount that i did receive from uber?

Yes, you will want to enter the income amount on your 1099-k under general business income. By doing this, you are filling out Schedule C. The general business income is Schedule C.
what is the basis of counting medical expenses..?? I didnot put any figure as medical expenses even there is shown some amounts in summary of medical expenses, what is that...
I am a bit confused - first you said file the 1099-K, and keep the 1099-MISC for the records, but in example 2 said to file 1099-MISC as additional income. My 1099-K included everything I got from them with taxes and fees. I think 1099-MISC is separated to show the income already included in the 1099-K from Uber eats. Do I still need to enter it separately? If not, how do I make sure IRS does not come after me?
